Movie Review: Moore's Last Bond
Summary: 1 Stars
Roger Moore's last Bond seems endless. History has been kinder to Roger Moore after mumbling swashbuckler Timothy Dalton and 110-pound weakling Pierce Brosnan proved he wasn't really that bad, but this is still a very weak film.
What's the common theme that make post-Connery Bonds so aweful: Director John Glen. With Glen behind the camera, Bond becomes a very workman like production with textbook framing and establishing shots. It's painful to watch, so formulaic.
Christopher Walken and Grace Slick were ripe with potential as villians, but ultimately a total waste of talent in this outing. Instead, incompetent Tanya Roberts is given the lion's share of screen time after Moore, and she sets a news standard for weak leading ladies in Bond films. Patrick Macnee from the Avengers appears, and actually serves well as Bond's sidekick in the first half of the film.
At 131 minutes, don't look for too many outakes on the DVD. When an action set involves Bond driving a firetruck, the fire is already out.
Movie Review: Licence to Bore
Summary: 1 Stars
Whatever happened to Ian Fleming's original creation? "A View to a Kill" (1985) reduces James Bond to 001. The film lacks a single memorable scene and squanders a good John Barry score. An aging Roger Moore gives it his best shot, but not even Sean Connery could have saved this fiasco. Easily the worst of the series.
